Contents: Stanford University’s Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law (CDDRL) strives to “promote innovative and practical research on the design and implementation of policies to foster democracy, to promote balanced and sustainable growth, and to advance the rule of law in countries undergoing dramatic change.” Founded in 2002, the center supports specialized teaching, training, and outreach activities, as well as interdisciplinary research. Program research focuses on five primary topics: evaluating international influences on democratic development, comparative democracy, democracy in Taiwan, economic performance, and the rule of law. CDDRL’s publications include academic publications, working papers, reports and policy briefs, journal articles, books and book chapters, and op-ed pieces. CDDRL also hosts frequent workshops and research seminars. Select presentation transcripts are available. The site is keyword searchable.
